For the ultimate statement, you’ll want a wool suit jacket and trousers for a premium feel in a stylish checked pattern. This is a classic, country gentleman look that will seem just as elegant and stylish whether on a city break or a more rural setting.

To get a classic Best of British look, we recommend a suit by Racing Green – simply pick your check, pick your colour scheme and then take a browse of men’s shirts by Jeff Banks or Ben Sherman.
